Two actors, two faces and a two sided story. I smell an Oscar nod for Gosling…I see audience rejection of the film.
It’s October. A time when Ghoulies, Ghosties and Long-Legged Beasties roam the earth. But if you start seeing the ghost of a World War II Japanese kamikaze fighter pilot, you’re probably Enoch Brae, the central character of Restless. And that’s not a bad place to be. Enoch is an odd kid. If your name is Enoch [...]
“Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots” get their day on the big screen in Real Steel, a movie that transcends the one-joke premise and is instead a heartwarming, fist-pumping mechanized fairy tale of a father and son coming together amid some of the baddest technology you’ll ever wish was really available. Not to bad for a [...]
Who are your on-screen duo’s Carl and Russel from UP? How about Tyler and The Narrator, read ours.
Ryan Bingham lives like a man in transition–he has no wife, no home, or familial trappings. His work consists of visiting employees at their workplace and firing them on behalf of their employer, a big firm who doesn’t want to handle the un-pleasantries. In some sense, he’s a corporate ’sin eater’–carrying a mantle others would rather pass on, and becoming a kind [...]
Pre-production has begun in Hawai’i for The Descendants, based on the book by Kaui Hart Hemmings. Academy Award®-winning writer/director Alexander Payne teams up with Clooney for the first time in what should have the audience saying “mahalo” by the time the end credits roll. The Descendants is Hawai’i native Hemmings’ first novel; the production marks a return [...]
Seven out of ten times, I’m going to come out enjoying a film that operates on its own terms. It’s the first and best thing I can say about Michael Mann, which just adds to my fanboy nature when it comes to his work. As a more recent example, the Coen Brothers’ A Serious Man [...]
This is a great year for George Clooney. He’s got Jason Reitman’s Up in the Air on the horizon, as well as Grant Heslov’s The Men Who Stare At Goats. Both films look superb. It could also be a great year for you, because you stand a chance at winning goodies from The Men Who [...]
Jason Reitman’s Up in the Air, which has gotten stunningly good festival reviews, finally has a release date. The film will go limited on December 4th. Paramount Pictures intended for Up in the Air to be released in November, which would coincide with George Clooney’s other starring role in Grant Heslov’s The Men Who Stare [...]
The first trailer to The Fantastic Mr. Fox, Wes Anderson’s throwback to The Mouse and the Motorcycle-style stop motion animation starring George Clooney, Meryl Streep, and the rest of Anderson’s usual gang, was met with mixed reviews. Some loved the aesthetic, some found it distracting; personally, I loved it. He seems to have taken Ronald [...]
Academy Award winner and jack of all trades actor George Clooney is going back in front of the camera once again starring in Anton Corbijn’s “The American”. Focus Features’ most recent suspecnse thriller begins filming in Italy, which is actually based off of a novel called A Very Private Gentlemen. Alone among assassins, Jack (played [...]
